My 98 S70 T5 is still in great shape at 203K miles. All original engine and transmission too and still pretty quick. I'm very surprised the the RMS isn't leaking and how well the turbo is still working.

I'm currently running a application of Auto-RX to clean things up and its amazing to see the slow, but working Auto-RX clean off the varnish and other deposits all over the head (looking in through the oil cap). This little clean up should help things along.
